I think the tag description needs to be clarified to say what is OK and what is not. If we allow too large a definition, it will apply to most questions on this site. What is your definition of this tag? | |

As Nicolas mentioned, many (but not all) of the questions currently tagged database are actually just data-request questions with no focus on databases. | |
